From some of the surprising comments to another thread...
How ofter do you get your barnet done and how much a go? Location might help as well..
8.50
Every 2 weeks.....stirling.
£9 rounded up to £10, once a month, People's Republic of Malvernia
Maybe doesn't count but do it myself every 2-3 weeks. I'm going bald so if I don't it looks a bit Krusty the Klown ish
Every 2 weeks. Costs £15, but I get a discount because I go so often and the same hairdresser has cut my hair for over 10 years.
I'm in Lancashire.
18 quid, roughly every 6 weeks, at an Edinburgh barber.
How much
£8 I think
How often
When I've got court the following day
DIY every week or two with number 2 clippers.
Village barber. Once a month or so. £7.00
Amusingly, someone has just opened another in the village. It's huge. And they're charging £16.00 for a trim. Good luck with that!
Every 3 weeks or so.
£28.50, Barbers near Fenchurch Street station.
Occasionally I will use the £10 butcher near home, but I generally don't have time at the weekends.
£7 monthly.
£28.50, Barbers near Fenchurch Street station.
😯 How much?
Used to get mine done on Sloane Street. £15.00
Someone is making good money near Fenchurch Street!
£6 monthly.
Small town, West Yorkshire.
Every now and then I get a cutthroat shave at the same time. That's £6, too.
Set of clippers bought 25 years ago.
Use them 4-5 times per year.
£4.50 in a village in South Yorkshire. I go every 3-4 weeks.
Over the past year I've grown both my hair and a beard so I've started to appreciate the finer things in life; treat myself to a haircut, beard shaping and cut-throat razor shave with all the hot and cold towels, etc.
£29 Once every couple of months and it takes about an hour so well worth it; a proper old-fashioned barbershop in Anstruther, East Fife.
About £ 8.50 round here, near Bolton but the Turkish lads in Town charge £7.
I go about 5-6 weeks depending on how busy work is.
£10.50 irritatingly as he doesn't take cards and I don't use cash day to day. Actually he's just gone up to £11.
Rhiwbina / Cardiff, opposite a little bike shop so at least I can look at their window display whilst I'm waiting.
Monthly for me or when I remember.
It's gone £8.50 to £9 to £9.50 and on and on to £11 over 6 months or so, and he's employed 2 other barbers - he must be after moving to a new house or something.
£30 about every 3 months in Macclesfield
£12:50 once a month at the italian barbers around the corner. The added typically histornic banter is worth the visit alone.
My wife owns a hairdressing salon in Staffordshire I'd like to say I get mine cut whenever I like but sadly not! Most of her male customers 4-5 weeks, I can be double that.
She'd charge £17.50 for a gents cut, free for me though.
£7 every four weeks here in Banburyshire, he does a good job as long as I do the British thing of timing it just right so I don't get his accomplice..
£15 including me beard (I round up to the nearest fiver). Same barber for the past 35 or so years. Every 2 ish weeks.
£10 every 5 weeks. South Yorkshire
Every 2-3 weeks, £12.50 hair & a beard trim...
£6.50, once a month in Longridge, Lancs. Always does a good job and great banter too.
I'm with Scotroutes & Murray.
Now on my 3rd set of clippers though after 30 years of DIY. Just stand in front of the mirror with the #3 guide on and buzz it all off. Mrs wf tidies up the back and any stray hairs I miss when I am done. Needs doing about every 4-6 weeks, or whenever my bike helmet starts to feel a bit snug 🙂
She'd charge £17.50 for a gents cut, free for me though.
That's because you'll be paying in many other ways without realising it 😆
W.Yorks. £4 a month, including risqué banter about my vegetables.
I consider the haircut essentially free.
always less than a tenner in our village, so whatever it is i just hand over a tenner, once a month. lincoln.
Another DIYer here, I usually get one of my daughters to deal with the back and any tufty bits I miss as the wife faffs about with it too much.
£10, Harrogate. 4 times a year, and the 10th one is free.
I'll never get the free one though, as the chances of me keeping a loyalty card (made of card) for 2 and a half years is non existent.

Santa brought me a beard trimmer 🙂
10 Euros every six weeks for a #2 back and sides and a little bit off the top.
And after every haircut I tell myself to keep it tidy with my own hair trimmers for at least a little while, but I never do.
Every 2 weeks? 😯
£8 every 6-8 weeks - North Wales.
One of the cutters is better than the others, so some thought goes into timing to try and make sure I get him. If one of the others cuts my hair, it starts looking tatty again in a few weeks.
£7 in sunny Neath.
Once a month
About once a year, these days.
A friend does it, so usually just get her some flowers and a bottle of wine.
£9 rounded up to £10, once a month
This. Camden, a one man band place. Old chap who's been doing it for 40 years, he's good. Really struggled to find a cheap place in the City, and IME there's no link between quality and price with a bog standard gents hair cut.
I'd get it done more often, but I don't like the "I've just had my hair cut" look I get for a week or so afterward, then it's nice for 2 weeks, then it's a bit of a standoff until my wife says I look scruffy.
Usually my missus does mine, but I went for a 'proper' barbershop trim at the start of December and although it was £40, I felt less robbed than £10 for ten minutes at a normal barbers...
With hot towel shave, it took an hour and a quarter for hair and beard
£9.50 rounded up to £10. Every 3 weeks.
Use to be every two weeks when I was younger.
About once a month and I pay £12. Aberdeenshire.
It's definately an investment as, if I leave it any longer, my hair does this:

Clip my own down to the wood and finish off with a bic every 2 weeks. The kids (11 + 5) go to a local barber and its £6 for the little one £7 for the big one. They won't have anyone else except their regular barber and will sit and wait till they're free.#picky kid's
On the outskirts of Leeds
£10, every two weeks - local village barber. I think he charges £16 usually but he does discounts if you're a regular.
DIY clippers every week. Guard off and take it down to the wood these days. Last time I paid it was £2 in the local place in the village, (West Yorks) but that was about 10 years ago.
Was seeing a lass last year that has her own barber's shop locally and she charged (not me!) about £6 I think.
£8, just up from £7.50 in stourbridge. Turkish fella, does a great job, nice, guy, absolute bargain. Get it done once a month or so.
£23 every eight weeks.
Hair - free once a week, clippers with no guard.
Beard - once every six weeks £10 trim and shape Macclesfield.
50 quid. Every 8 ish weeks. Manchester.
Cut by hand - none of this clippers nonsense - by the same intelligent, funny and rather fit woman for the last decade or so.
Worth every penny.
Every 6 weeks No3 back & sides No 5 top £8:00 just give the guy £10:00 always have a good chat with the Turkish chap as my Father did a lot of structural geology work in Turkey.
Village barber, £8.50, North Yorkshire, when it gets long enough to be annoying so maybe 3-4 times per year.
£10, whenever I can be bothered. Was a bit wild last weekend (think Guy Martin through a hedge backwards, with accompanying 'burns 😀 ) so had a Christmas trim. Think it was 9 weeks since I'd been before then.
Oh, Worcester.
Every 6 weeks, occasionally 4 if I have a important meeting or event.
London it was £35. Paris £20. Had a few £10 haircuts around Hampshire which where shite
Brant cuts my hair with clippers forged from reclaimed OnOne Inbred steel.
A snip, literally, for a hundred notes a pop

50 quid. Every 8 ish weeks. Manchester
I'd expect a post haircut nosh off for that kind of money
£9.00 every three months, Leith...scissor cut, funny and rather fit women; no nosh off though.....
I had a haircut once in '89 or '90.
It was free.
I can't wait till I go Bald...
Some of us have to look like tramps to avoid unwanted attention (from both sexes).... 🙂
£23 every four weeks at a hairdresser in a nice part of Stirling, rather than some chop chop in Raploch that the Op obviously uses..
A set of clippers bought years ago for me too. No3 all over. Nipper99- fancy a trim seeing how you are so local?
£15 Turkish Headshave once a month.
The other 3 Sundays are a DIY job with a Saftey razor and lots of shaving soap..
#Slaphead
Wife owns a salon in the West Midlands,£9.75 for gents cut.
Jesus there's either some rip-off merchants or mugs about....
Never paid more than £10 - anything more than that is straying into "hair salon" territory and all that entails!
No.2 back and sides about No.5 faded through on top.
simple - about every 6-8 weeks'ish. (ok 8-10 weeks... I'm a bloke)
Just been thinking, we must have the most Barbers per hundred yard in my small town than anywhere else. There are 4 barbers on the Market st and 3 unisex salons in about 100 yards.
There are another 2 unisex and a barbers in the little village a mile away.
This town is just nail bars, haircuts and sunbeds....
£7.50 probably once every 6 weeks.
The Jeremy Vine show is a minus but the price and consistency of cut as well as being work lunch doable is the win.
Cut in Time, Manchester
£0.00
MrsBouy cuts it.
You can tell.
'd get it done more often, but I don't like the "I've just had my hair cut" look I get for a week or so afterward, then it's nice for 2 weeks, then it's a bit of a standoff until my wife says I look scruffy.
Me too, so about 5 times a year then 🙂 Definitely went through a phase of fearing hair dressers.
£8 @ just a stroll down the road. Usually it's one of two girls and takes about 15 minutes, preference for how the more common girl does it. Occassionally get a bloke and he'll turn it into a 50 minute torture session in which each individual hair is precision cut to within a tolerance of +/-0.01mm.
Very short-haired female here. £25 every 4 weeks or so otherwise it looks shite. Mid-Wales.
